Sarah I'll be 48 in Feb, about to get an ADHD diagnosis after years of being misdiagnosed and I have absolutely NO clue what I truly want to do with my life so believe me when I say - you're doing great 🤗 Its such a blessing to get thr right diagnosis at a young age. You have your life ahead of you and you're already helping so many people with your channel xx
I'm also an INTP 5w4 and like being an "expert" in certain science and philosophy areas. I also got very good grades in school and university and was also lazy in doing more than the minimum required. When I was 34 years old (2003) I was an "expert" in Transhumanism and even worked for a few years with the WTA. Went to conferences, gave a few presentations and radio interviews, met Nick Bostrom and Aubrey de Grey. The problem was that I suffered from public speaking anxiety (glossophobia) so I stopped doing all that in 2005. All the knowledge I gained from my Transhumanist studies made me interested in understanding the concept of life from a systems/physics point of view (what is life? why are organisms alive?) since I realized that scientists do not yet understand what life really is. I've been working, for the past 17 years, on a theory of life as a cybernetic system and not the limited dogmatic and taxonomic biological point of view. Anyway, now I've been studying MBTI and Jung's personality typing theory for the last two years.
Couldn't it simply be a matter of godly creation and a soul bringing life to an ortherwise dead body? I can't describe what a soul is other than being a sort of 'on switch' for the mechanisms of the body. There is a small description of the soul in the quran but i doubt you look forward to hearing it. You have an admirable field of study by the way.
@@MeshalAlhussaini If life is the soul, then do bacteria also have a soul? What about complex molecules? What happens to bacteria when they die? What is the difference between a dead bacteria and a live bacteria? What is metabolism and what is homeostasis? Are animals alive or dead when our body cells die or when our brains die?
Thank you for sharing about your journey with us. I can relate to some of your challenges and also am glad to hear what works well for you. I think it's time to learn to support each other any way we can, when we have similar problems especially. Greater awareness from a place of honesty really helps. 🌷
We share a lot of strengths and weaknesses. I am an Intp and i think I suffer from adhd but i didn't get it diagnosed. I feel normal but there is this edge of 'being in the present' that other people have over me that got me thinking i might have it. My thought process is cloudy but when i am interested in something it is supremely clear. I wanted to ask what differenced have you noticed in your social interactions after you took adhd medications?
My social interactions are so much easier to deal with. I am present with people I am with and that wasn't something I experienced before. I was always too in my head and distracted by anything from following patterns on wallpaper to listening to a conversation I am not involved in. On medication, not only is social interaction better with others but my interactions with myself and the outside world are much improved. I can appreciate things a lot more and feel calm,. I am a lot more confident when talking with people too. When I've compared my older videos to my newer ones and I assume that it is the same with my interactions with people - I can see that I am much more attentive and can think with clarity. It was also the constant thoughts in my head that were thinking anxiously whilst conversing with someone that were causing me to stop being present. The only presence I felt was through deep meditation but the effects don't last long.

Good luck Dawn! I was diagnosed in August at 40 and I haven't a clue what I'm doing with my life either 🙈 Sarah helps me so much too.
Same here. Diagnosed at 39. Was told I couldn’t take ADHD meds because of an arrhythmia. Hoping to start Strattera soon.

there is one theory of intelligence, by gardner where he talks about existential intelligence
